Upcoming Exhibitions

Rooted in her Caribbean and African heritage, spirituality and identity, Heather Williams’ work explores the concept of damage and repair. Known for her abstract paintings, figurative sculpture, and film, Williams’ artistic voice is clear, purposeful, and unwavering. An introspective person with a thoughtful narrative to share with the world, she does not shy away from difficult subject matter.

Ubuhle Beads is a collective of female beadwork artists founded in 1999 by Bev Gibson and master beader Ntombephi Ntombela on a sugar plantation in South Africa that empowers and changes the perspective of African women. The organization has allowed for women artists of South Africa to have a platform to use their generational talents for financial independence that was not previously available.  

After six decades of artistry, Minch, an award-winning New Jersey artist and Kean Alumna, returns to Kean with a powerful body of work: a collection of collages, sculptures, and paintings. The work exudes strength in a subtle feminine way that draws the viewer in closer for deeper inspection. Identity is a theme that threads through each piece giving her art depth and a genuine richness that celebrates her family’s diverse heritage, friends, and the human experience.
